I expected this to run $599+ off contract, but it's $469, no tax, 2 day shipping at Amazon.
Amazon.com: Cell Phones & Service: HTC EVO 3D (Sprint)
This actually seems like a better deal than the on-contract price!
Even better for the hacking community too!
i wouldnt see why it would be more than that.
better than the on contract price? learn to do math, it would be cheaper to get it on contract and bite the etf then buy it off contract!!!

Not true. I gave this some more thought after reading it in THE OTHER OFF CONTRACT PRICE thread.. If you're within 30 days then they'll want you to just cancel and return the phone. If you are beyond the first 30 then you will have already paid current and next months mrc's, and an activation fee.

before 30 days you return the phone, no charge. between 30-90 days i believe you pay the etf and have to give up the phone or pay the difference to keep the phone.
thanks for posting, just preordered. I also added this to the off contract thread.
It also apprears that ordering the E3D with a new contract is $179 as opposed to $199 everywhere else.......save 20 bucks !!

No way!? Really?
I wish I had mod privileges
R.I.P hd2 hello Evo 3d
There is already a thread stating this crap, and yes it was common knowledge. The only reason I made the one for Radioshack was to inform people of the price change from the original flyer. Stop being a moron OP
OP...yeah that info's out....and yeah, ya gotta put up with ass****s like these guys...
retail overpriced. Amazon has it for 469 retail and no tax.
I pre-ordered the EVO 3D a couple of weeks ago at Best Buy. I will be buying it with a 2yr contract. I'm going from pre-pay t-mobile to Sprint. I was wondering, how can I get the Everything Plus plan? Can I get it at Best Buy or do I need to do something else.
Thank you in advance.

The plan they give you when you sign up at best buy is the plan you need for the evo 3d. It'll probably come out to about $70/month unless you have corporate discounts.
anyone notice it saying.....
4GB internal memory
Allows you to store media. Memory card slot supports microSD cards up to 32GB (card not included).

If everything plus is referring to the SERO-Premium plans, then no you cannot get these at Best Buy. You would have to buy it online, since once you are a customer you cannot change your plan to the SERO-P plan.
Also, if you have an affiliation with most universities or companies, chances are you can get a corporate discount that would make the plan just as, if not more, cost effective than SERO-P

according to their site they have the "Simply Everything" plan for 99.99 or the "Everything Data" which runs 69.99 for 450 land line minutes and 89.99 for 900 land line minutes. Add $10.00 data for the e3d plus if you are on a spending limit program its like another $5 (total guess, not sure but in that ballpark) and another $7 for phone insurance
in short, cheapest plan will total run you roughly $90 without any corporate, employee, student, or extraterrestrial discounts

Everything Plus is a 'friends of employees' plan that $59.99, but to get a smartphone you have to add $10, then im not sure if you still need to add another $10 for 4g or not but it doesnt end up saving you that much money.

Oh, I didn't see the add $10 for smartphone thing. Thanks for highlighting that for me.
I can't believe someone is actually selling the INFO to open a new Sprint SERO account for $190? Really, its easy to get a SERO account for FREE! just google it and your done... jeez and this guy has sold numerous "plans" stealing someones hard earned cash. He seems to want to lure you in thinking that the evo 3d in included but there is a catch.
He then goes on to say that you are just buying access to the site to create your account and you still have to buy your phone plus pay any other fees associated with it.
check out the listing here BUT DONT BUY THIS IM NOT PROMOTING IT
his listing says:
Up for sale is Brand New Sprint Sero Premium Plan with 2-year agreement with sprint. This plan is $40 a month.
You can buy any new phone you'd like from Sprint's website. Even the new HTC EVO 3D!
Remember you pay for the phone separately. This price is just for the plan.
If you select a SMARTPHONE then its $10 a month extra.

I emailed him asking if he was a sprint authorized dealer, and I also mentioned that I called sprint to ask if the $190 fee was a one time fee or if I had to re-pay it every 2 years. and they didnt have an answer, so I would like to know if he knew? haha LOL. just hope nobody here fall prey to this guy.
If this has been posted b4 sorry, just dont want any of us e3d'ers to fall prey to this asshat.

Sprint Employee Referral Offer or something like that. I use to have it a few years back when I had my Touch Pro. It's pretty much just a discounted plan. Kind of hard to keep when you get newer phones because they try to make you switch plans.

The sero plans seem ok, but if you really wanna save some money you gotta get on the wireless advantage club. I pay $40 a month for 500 mins, unlimited data 3g/4g, unlimited texts, tv, gps, etc etc. The base is $20 + $10 for "iconic devices" (basically any decent phone) + $10 for any phone with 4g. But you have to know an actually employee willing to put you on their plan

The lowest non sero plan with unlimited data is $80. If you are like most people and only use small minutes every month, you save $40 a month and the taxes are cheaper.
Keep in mind SERO is dead, and the new plans are EPRP and are ~$20 more than SERO and the only way to get an actual SERO plan is from someone who has one adding you a line, then transferring it to it's own contract, people have been doing this, and charging a premium amount of $150-$200 since 2008.

My girlfriend and I are on a plan where we share 1500 minutes. With 12 days left in the billing cycle, we've racked up a whopping 186 minutes between us. If I could have a shared plan with 300 minutes on it for much less, I'd love that -- email, instant messaging, and texts have pretty much eaten into actual phone calls for me. Neither of us has a land line, btw.

Exactly. I have the advantage 500 min plan and I use MAYBE 150 minutes a month outside of mobile to mobile and free nights and weekends. Not to mention we get yearly upgrades.
Advantage Club is awesome. Being an employee was more awesome though.
I have 2 epics on the $129 plan, less 20% though. That's 1500 minutes w/ free cell calls and nights/weekends, and unlimited everything else as well, which makes it $51.x / per line.
Hi all,
I've got the evo 4g. Thinking about upgrading to the evo lte. But when I go to sprint, it says i need to pick a new plan. I REALLY don't want to pick a new plan since i'd be paying an extra $30/mo for less I currently have the sero premium 500 plan. Base cost is $40/mo but the plan they want me to sign up for is $70/mo and i would get 50 minutes less a month.
Thats not a very enticing deal - get $150 credit for the phone, but agree to a 2 year term and pay an extra $720 over the 2 years for less talk time.
anyone know if there's a way to upgrade phones but keep the same plan? I like sprint but that sort of deal is basically sprint scream 'fk you, we dont want you as a customer'
That Sprint rep definetely didnt know what he was doing. It is 100% possible to upgrade your phone and stay on your Sero-P plan. Its best to call the offical Sero number and order your phone from them. Its clear only a few people in actual sprint stores know how to handle Sero-P plans. I will have to look up the official sero sprint number.
In the mean time, maybe you can call another sprint store and see if they know how to handle sero premium accounts
You need to call the sero accounts #
(888) 876-8381
They bumped me from the old sero 500 plan to sero premium, just so I could get the lte. Then they forwarded me to telesales, who were even better, the guy added my wife with the same plan as me. When I called accounts later for some info about porting her number, the lady was all pissed off that they did something they weren't supposed to.
My experience has been that I called a few times, and every time I got a woman with a southern drawl, they wouldn't help me at all and got rather angry about the fact I was still on sero. Everytime I got a guy, they were helpful. Considering you're already on sero premium, you might be able to go straight through telesales for the phone. The only downside of ordering through telesales, is that it's $199 (cheaper elsewhere)- but you have assurances from them that your plan won't get screwed up, so it's worth the extra cost to me.

I didn't call anyone, this was just using their website. But I'll try calling and see what they say.
You got lucky - i had added a 2nd line to my account last year and they wouldn't let me put it on sero - had to get the regular plan.
I'm just going to wait a little while until the phone is out just to see what the reviews are from users and then i'll decide if i should upgrade or not.
I have a similar question.
My buddy is going to let me use a upgrade for this phone and I'm on a indirect-employee plan. Someone mentioned that one of his phones could possibly not be able to be used for 6 months after I upgrade and swap.
I called sprint they said that is not true and I can ESN swap from his account to mine as long as that line has a phone attacthed to it, which it does.
I believe we will be moved to the $50 SERO plan from the $30 if you began there.
+$10 for the "smartphone" premium, and another +$10 for the premium data fee.

This is True- and if you already have the sero premium plan, you will still have to call because the LTE addon is different from the current Data addon on the plan. But from what I've read over on other forums you can keep your Sero plan.

The base SERO plan is $30
Add 10 for premium devices
Add 10 for premium data
You're gonna have to pay $50 a month for this phone - same as the iPhone and all 4g phones available with SERO.
New customer?
You need to already have SERO to have the option to use this device for $50.
I think new customers pay $80 a month for the unlimited plan with this device
I'm on sero premium 500. It's $40 plus $10 for premium data (still trying to figure out what the hell is premium about the data i use). So i pay $50. So i guess i'll keep paying what I have now, assuming i can find someone at sprint willing to let me upgrade and keep my plan.
just called in and ordered the evo lte. Didn't have to do anything to keep my plan - but I guess we'll see once I actually get the phone. I never trust things when they go that easy
Same boat, and I haven't had any problems upgrading. I've had the 4G LTE for about close to a month now.
Once you paid the extra 10 for the 4G premium data for the Evo 4G, nothing needs to change to get the LTE data. They change the name, but the details remain the same.
I'll believe it when it see it - i'm always skeptical when things just seem to work without any hassle
I just got the phone earlier today and tried activating it - wants me to pick a new plan before I can activate. Unfortunately sprint doesn't have 24 hour customer care, so hopefully I'll just call them tomorrow to get the phone activated, cuz I'm definitely not going to switch plans.
fyi - I had to call the employee sales dept, not the normal tele-sales dept to activate the phone and keep this plan.
Their number is 866 264 1282
[Q] Why did my Sprint bill drop to $40/mo from EVO 4G LTE upgrade? "SERO Premium 500"
A long time ago I had a SERO (Sprint Employee Referral Option) but Sprint killed SERO when 4G WiMAX phones were released so you had to upgrade to a Simply Everything Plus plan which was more expensive.
So I was paying $59 for an "Simply Everything Plus 500" plan, which I thought was a great deal, but today I went and bought the new EVO 4G LTE and to my surprise the rep said my bill was being reduced to $40 a month for the same features of that plan!
I think this is insane that I get a better phone with unlimited LTE and it costs only $40 a month now, which is $20 cheaper a month than my old WiMAX phone bill.
Anyone know why this happened? I don't know why Sprint wouldn't want more money from me, not that I am complaining!

you got extremely lucky there bud. I was in your position too and still ahve the everything plus plan b/c of the whole SERO thing when the evo4g came out....
The SERO Premium plans came out in the fall after the 4G was released as a response to the complaints about the plan changes and such with the $10 fee and all...so those that waited got to join those.
This is the first I've herd of someone being able to move from the everything plus to the SERO Premium plan though....musta been a real real real nice rep there....that or one that is completely slow and doesn't know anything. lol
Jealous beyond jealous, that is awesome.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
So I take it this isn't the norm for "Simply Everything Plus 500" users?
The Sprint rep acted like the computer system was making him set the account up this way to activate the new EVO
There is actually a thread on slickdeals.net about the SERO plans, and one of the few things that still works (but only occasionally) to get a new SERO plan is to sign up for a new Everything Plus plan than get it converted to SERO Premium 500.

SERO-P works just fine with the new EVO. The rep just has to take the WiMAX code off and put in the LTE one. My store had to call a help center to get the new code. It will stay at the 40+10 plan too.

Ok, nice. I just ordered my Evo Lte 10 min ago. Got a bit of run around from dialing *2. They said i had to upgrade to an "everything plus" plan because they no long had Sero plans. Fould a number on the slick deals link. Called 888 882 4030 and ordered a LTE EVO as well as change my plan over. Went from Sero 500 /$30 a month to Sero premium 500 $40 + $10 data charge.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Sprint and now they reduced my monthly bill like $20 without me asking when I get a new phone so I am going to stick with them for sure
Same plan I got, yea you got super lucky. Took me almost a year to get my Sero Plan back from Simply Everything. I did get it back though, people that say it can't be done are just trolling it can be done it's just very hard. I don't even remember how I did it but it took many many attempts as with Sprint getting something you want just takes the right rep.
My old plan on my TP2 was was $30 a month fair & flex (sero variant) with 25% MRC plus free pcs2pcs (those plans didn't have any mobile anytime)
I attached a screen shot, I also got pick 5 added to my account someone after this bill date which I still have today. Pick 5 was a little more important then cause pcs2pcs was Sprint only not any network. It was hard to give up even with TEP it was like $32 a month after taxes. I'm still pretty happy with SeroP it's a more than fair price. I got to keep all my free perks like First Incoming Min free even today I still have that only perk I had to give up was free n/w at 6 is now gone but doesn't matter I never come close to using 500 anytime min anyway.
